i've got a 2TB WD Green Disk for recovery, device sometimes it's recognized by atola insight, but with size of 0Byte (LBA issue) - so i tried to change the heads in the cleanroom - and i could see some little scratches at outer tracks of the platter (don't know about the platters behind) - same problem with the new heads - 0Byte.is there a way to read out data maybe reverse if the disk don't know how big it is? from Last LBA to 1st?

or is it just possible if the device is ok so far?

Or maybe the little scratches destroyed the new head also... thats possible.

Any ideas for disks with headcrash if they are not recognized correctly? with atola or other Hard+Software?

Atola is not enough. More powerful tool is necessary for thise drives. And considering the damage, definitely have to dig deeper.

Tell me more about more powerful tools

If you are doing head swaps and using Atola, then you should have a pretty good idea about powerful tools out there.Atola is not built with a focus on firmware, rather imaging. You need tools that are able to work with firmware for difficult cases.
